I will be expressing my own personal views on a wide range of topics. Some of my personal views are known to really piss people off, which isn't my concern. Perhaps, if you get angry enough you will make effort to become part of a positive solution instead of perpetuating negative problems by your complicit silence? My personal views do not represent the official view(s) or position(s) of any organization that I belong to or may be connected with.

A Current Research Project
I have recently been asked what type of research projects that I AM working on.
While there are several projects underway, I decided to share that one of the papers I am researching and
considering writing about is the Cathars, the Albigensian Crusade and the
Knight Templar connection to that Languedoc region of southern France where all
these events took place and an area that had large population with Gnostic beliefs, even
within the Templar ranks, as many KT's were from that region of southern
France.
I first put forth a theory several years ago, and came under
attack from others in the Masonic community, which I still find interesting to
this day.
There was more going on than the commonly accepted theories
put forth by other masonic writers on this topic.
I think I view some of the events differently because of my
church background and my access to church records. I see connections that a
typical masonic writer may not always see concerning persecution from the
Catholic Church and later Protestant denominations.
I have provided a link to my publisher CA Publishing for those of you seeking to be published.
As always, make it a good day!

An Observation about Freemasonry
The philosophy of Freemasonry is perfect. Unfortunately, some of those that practice it are not. Racism transcends everything, including the Craft. However, we need to isolate those "brothers" and call them out when we have the chance.

Br. Bizzack stated in his book:
"The purpose of Masonic education is to create an
environment conducive to learning, in which interests are maintained and fresh
insights developed into the study of the Craft, its history and philosophy, the
influence of historical figures, and certainly its symbolism and allegories -
an environment that motivates, stimulates and encourages members to read and
study and discuss Freemasonry."

A link to an interesting article for Freemasons by writer Fahim Knight concerning lack of brotherly love between Black and Caucasian Freemasons in America.

What Means the World to YOU?
Good Morning!
I apologize for not posting, I have been dealing with some recent health issues.
My thought for this morning is "What Means the World to You?".
This of course is a personal question that can only be answered by every individual for themselves.
No matter what, we must all ask ourselves this question. And only we can answer it.
Be it material or spiritual, one must decide. It is my sincere wish that all of you find a BALANCE between the two.
I AM leaving you with a music video that asks the same question.
As always, make it a great day!
